1st Phorm Product Scraper & Price Tracker

A 1st Phorm scraper and 1st Phorm price tracker for 1stphorm.com, the US supplement and apparel shop. Read the whole catalogue or any collection (products, amino-acids, collagen, all-mens-apparel) and get one flat row per product: the current price and its range in USD, the price before markdown, the largest discount in percent, whether it is in stock and how many flavours or sizes are, and every variant with its own SKU, price and stock flag. Run it on a schedule for supplement price and new-product alerts: which protein, pre-workout or stack went on sale since yesterday, by how much, which new flavours went live this week, and which came back in stock.

No account, no API key, no login, no browser. One request returns up to 250 products; the whole catalogue (about 485 products on 2026-10-19) is two requests.

Input

Field	Notes
collections	1st Phorm collections to read instead of the whole catalogue, one per line: the name from the address bar (products, amino-acids, collagen, all-mens-apparel) or the link (https://1stphorm.com/collections/amino-acids). Each is read in the shop's own order. A product found by two collections is returned once, under the first. Leave empty to read the whole catalogue, newest first. A collection name the shop does not have fails at no charge.
publishedAfter	Only products that went live after this moment: 24 hours, 7 days, 2 weeks, a date (2026-10-01) or a date-time (2026-10-01T12:00:00Z). On the whole catalogue the run stops at the first older product, since the feed is newest-published first. Leave empty for no cut-off.
onlyOnSale	Return only products where at least one variant is priced below its price before markdown (on_sale). Others are read, not returned and not charged, and do not count toward maxItems.
maxItems	Products to return per collection, or for the whole catalogue (default 250, up to 25,000). Up to 250 per page.
proxyConfiguration	Apify datacenter proxy by default.

Example input, products that went live in the last week:

{
  "publishedAfter": "7 days",
  "maxItems": 500
}

Example input, every reduced product:

{
  "onlyOnSale": true,
  "maxItems": 1000
}

Output

Prices are numbers in US dollars; currency is USD (the shop's own /meta.json says so). A field the shop did not send is null, never 0 or "".

Field	Notes
query, position	The shop URL (whole catalogue) or collection URL that first found the product, and its place in that list (1 is first). The whole catalogue is newest-published first.
store	1stphorm.com.
product_id, handle, url	Shopify's product id (a string), its URL handle, and the product link.
title, vendor, product_type	As the shop sends them. vendor is not a brand on this shop: 1st Phorm uses it as its own merchandising label (Stack, CORE, Health & Wellness, Weight Loss, Black Friday 2025 Apparel, App Subscription), kept as sent. Null when empty.
tags	The shop's own merchandising tags, as sent. Not a standard vocabulary.
price, price_max	The lowest and highest current variant price. They differ across sizes (a 1 lb and a 2 lb tub) and when only some variants are reduced.
original_price, original_price_max	The lowest and highest price before markdown: per variant its compare_at_price when that is above its price, otherwise its price. Equal to the current price when nothing is reduced.
on_sale	True when at least one variant's compare_at_price is above its price.
discount_percent	The largest reduction of any variant, (1 - price / compare_at_price) * 100, one decimal place. Worked out from the prices, not sent. Null when nothing is reduced, never 0.
available, variant_count, available_variant_count	Whether any variant can be bought now, how many variants there are (up to 72 on one product: flavour times size), and how many can be bought: the restock signal.
option_names	The product's options, e.g. ["Flavor", "Size"].
variants	Every variant: variant_id, title, sku, price, compare_at_price (null when the shop sends none), available, and options (the variant's values in option_names order).
created_at, published_at, updated_at	ISO 8601 times with the shop's offset. published_at is when the product went live, which is what publishedAfter reads. updated_at is rewritten in bulk, so it is not a price-change time.
image_url, image_count	The first photo on cdn.shopify.com, as sent (null when there is none), and how many photos there are.

Honest nulls

• No ratings, reviews, nutrition facts or stock counts. The catalogue feed carries none. available says a variant can be bought, nothing more.
• discount_percent is null when nothing is reduced. Most 1st Phorm variants carry no compare_at_price at all (2,228 of 2,947 on 2026-10-19); a compare_at_price equal to or below the price is not a reduction either.
• Not every row is a physical product. The feed carries app-access subscriptions (1st Phorm App Access) and gift cards; they are returned as sent, so filter on product_type or vendor if you only want supplements.

Pricing

Pay per event:

• $0.002 per run (actor-start), charged only after your input is validated, so a run that fails on bad input costs nothing.
• $0.000616 per product row written (product-scraped), i.e. $0.62 per 1,000 products. A row that is not written is not charged: rows filtered by onlyOnSale or publishedAfter, and repeats of a product another collection already returned, are free.

How it fetches

It reads /products.json, the public catalogue feed every Shopify shop serves (and /collections/<name>/products.json for a collection). Measured 2026-10-19: HTTP 200 JSON, about 2.8 MB per 250 products, no key or cookie needed, open from datacenter and residential addresses. A refusal (403, 429, 430, 5xx), a 200 that is not the feed, or a dropped connection is treated as the address being blocked, and the actor rotates to a fresh one and retries.

Things worth knowing, all measured:

• A short page is not the end. Page 1 held 249 products at a limit of 250 and page 2 held 236. Only an empty page, HTTP 200 with {"products":[]}, ends the list, and that is where the actor stops.
• Newest-published first. Both pages of the whole catalogue are in published_at order, which is what makes publishedAfter stop early.
• There is no sale collection. /collections/sale is HTTP 404 on this shop, and all exists but is empty; use onlyOnSale for markdowns.
• www.1stphorm.com redirects to 1stphorm.com. Links on either host are accepted as input; requests go to 1stphorm.com.
• An unknown collection looks empty. The feed answers an unknown name with an empty list; the actor asks the collection's own record, and a name that does not exist fails instead of being reported as empty.

If 1st Phorm changes its feed, the run fails with a message instead of returning empty rows.
